Not Half-Not Whole Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Not Half-Not Whole

Rating: 5.0


Where would the leaf be
without the branch

The cowboy drifting
without the ranch

Where would the wave be
without the sea

Its motion unformed,
adrift unseen

Where would a song be
without a voice

A silent concert,
a barren choice

And where would you be
without your soul

Condemned to matter,
not half—not whole

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January,2018)
